Campaign-finance reform had been hotly debated during the 1998 midterm elections. Comes now Mr. Rosenkranz, who in his book Buckley Stops Here: Loosening the Judicial Stranglehold on Campaign Finance Reform argued for overturning Buckley v. Valeo, which held that while the legislature could limit individual contributions it could not limit the amount a candidate (in this case, Senator James L. Buckley) could spend on his own behalf. Mr. Rosenkranz ably defends his position, but he has to contend not only with Senator Buckley's brother, but also with one of the nation's most formidable free-speech advocates. JR: "Corruption is not the only issue. It's also about equality, and what the Supreme Court took off the table is any argument that... voices should be about equal in the most important decisions that we make in our democracy, which is who should be elected to public office." IG: "You're right about that factually, but where we disagree is that, though I pine for more equality in speech as much as you do, what I am fearful of and what the Supreme Court was properly, I think, fearful of is allowing the government to decide that you have too much speech and I don't have enough."
